BB has been with us for ten years. It has somewhat defined our lives for the last decade. I can honestly say that BB acts almost like markers for my life.

How does Big Brother mark your life.

Heres mine. Its long but fun

PLEASE feel free to discuss how BB marked your life over the years

BB1
I was 14 and that summer i had my first boi crush when i did a summer school at a local theatre. I remember first discussing nasty nick walking up the hill towards the theatre

BB2
I did my gsce's and left school, BB2 reminds me of watching live feed all day and a small trip to wales i made with the family. I remember buying the final heat magazine with the four finalists in it.

BB3
I attended TWO summer taster courses for university this summer. I remember sitting in one of the campus kitchens watching an epsiode on a REALLY fuzzy screen. Also this was the first year we got the internet at home...

BB4
The first summer that the eye design was significant to me.
I was in the midst of writing a feature film with a local film company. also in the middle of my A levels. I used to skive off and go to the library and look up big brother stuff. Me and my best mate went for a walk one summers day and ended up in liverpool airport were we met SISSY. haha

BB5
This was the summer my feature film got made. I remember finding a newspaper with house pictures at one of the locations. I also remember a night shoot were me and a friend talked about BB until 5am.
The night Nadia won was so emotional for me, i was at a friends house getting sloshed, i remember lying in the back of my dads car on the way home staring at the stars and crying cos BB was over. Hahaha i was so drunk.

BB6
I had finished my A levels and was jobless and worried about the future. I started working on a theatre project with a local Arts company that saw me through the summer. I spent my evenings going the gym and then back to my oldest dearest friends first apartment and watching BB there.
I remember the night of maxwells eviciton because i spent hours in the office reading the forums and hoping he would go.
This was the year i also met my first BF.

BB7
Having filmed a pilot for channel4 in NOV this was the summer of the big adventure.
I was in Washington DC filming the night the BB7 logo was revealed. i got up extra early and used the hotel computer to see it.
I was sxo shocked to see the twisted eye design was so similar to one of my fan made designs
I remember being in london and seeing the eye on a billboard and being excited, then watching the launch the night i got back from london at my friend Darrens.
I was also in the middle of my first major breakup and heartache. I watched the final at darrens house getting trollyed. I switched off after Aisleyne only came third.

BB8
The year of working. Nothing much happened. I watched the launch in my bedroom with my mate james then the final at his house. we both wanted Samanda to win. I met my second BF at the end of this year

BB9
Simply the BEST BB viewing experience of my life.
It was the worst year for me socially but the best BB wise. I spent the summer at my best friend CJS house getting drunk till 7am, kissing loads of people. Me and CJ went to a wedding but were so bored we sneaked home to watch BB. I went to Mardi Gras in manchester and wanted to be at CJS watching bb.

This was the year that I was involved the most. I invested so much love into it. Me and CJ were so nervous when Rachel went up against Stuart. When she survived it was amazing. I screamed.

The final at CJS was amazing we had drinking games and i was convinced Rachel would be out first.

Her victory is the single most awesome BB moment ever. I actually cried. sad i know but an amazing year.

and i met the love of my life

BB10
I was in Greece during the entire pre series build up without internet so i was dying to get back and see what the house was like etc.
I was made up to see my idea for a 'fingerprint/identity' eye design had been used
The series was fun and Sophies victory was another favourite in the bag.

We moved into our first apartment the week before the final so we enjoyed the finale with friends.

BB11

The bittersweet.

The first year that really didnt capture my imagination. Possibly because i knew it was the end.

The reveal of the eye didnt excite me. The house was gorgeus until they made all those changes.

But i was very happy that the final title sequence used one of my ideas. 'COGS'
